The Third Eye Has Amazing Abilities. Can You Activate It?

The third eye, the spiritual and mystic eye has the ability of extrasensory perception. It represents an extraordinary potential of perception, foresight, prescience and clairvoyance. It is a phenomenon mentioned in history throughout various cultures. The third eye is an eye that doesn't serve us for sight but we can use it to perceive what our ordinary eyes cannot.

According to scientific interpretation, it is a pineal gland or epiphysis cerebri. This organ is unpaired, located in the middle of the brain, a part of diencephalon. It is an endocrine gland which, apart from its other functions, produces melatonin, the sleep hormone. This hormone influences circadian biorhythms, sleep and wakefulness and also reproductive glands' activity.

Ancient civilizations and modern mystics link the ability of extrasensory perception with the activity of the so-called third eye activation; the third eye is located in the same place as the aforementioned epiphysis.

Third Eye Was Known in Ancient Egypt

Apparently, the oldest mention of the third eye was found in Ancient Egypt. We know the symbol of Horus eye from Egypt. Horus, one of the Egyptian gods, is the symbol of the fight of the Light against the Darkness and moves us to justice in the ancient Egyptian religion. According to the legend, Horus lost his eye (or both eyes) during a fight with tyrannical Seth and then created another eye, directly on the forehead between the eyebrows. That allowed him to see what ordinary eyes could not, to see what is underneath the surface of things and events. The so-called Horus eye surveyed religious ceremonies and laws. However, we mostly know the symbol of the third eye from Hinduism. Shiva had a third eye. This particular god represents the highest wisdom, understanding of the goings of the world and supernatural abilities. Sometimes, Shiva was called Trinetrishvara = the Lord with Three Eyes. Kama, the god of passion, was burned by Shiva's third eye when he tried to disturb him during his meditation.

When we explore legends and old stories, we also encounter the third eye in mythical creatures - cyclopes. Cyclopes are also mentioned in the Old Testament. They were tall, large and they only had one eye in the middle of their foreheads. These creatures were able to master the control of this organ and the communicated with each other solely telepathically. Later, under the influence of the material world, two eyes developed that allow seeing common earthly things.

The Olmec culture, one of the oldest known cultures of Central America, depicts some of its gods with a groove on their foreheads; this may also be an interpretation of the third eye. In Vedic tradition, the third eye is represented by the sixth chakra. It symbolizes emotional intelligence, intuition, intellectual abilities, and cognitive functions. This chakra allows us to hear the voice of our Higher Self and see various visions. The ancient Chinese called the third eye the supernal eye. Taoists use the name the Niwan Palace and Descartes, the philosopher, defined the pineal gland as the seat of our human soul. Modern philosophers presumed that the pineal gland is the source of imagination and thanks to it, our soul and mind affect our physical body. Is is truly possible that this small organ hidden in our brain represents the potential to peek into unknown places and has abilities that science is short to grasp unambiguously?

The Third Eye According to Modern Science

Beside the fact that the epiphysis or pineal gland has many different functions such as influencing human sexual development, production of melatonin, controlling metabolism and daily rhythm, some of its characteristics are not so easy explained scientifically. Medicinal science has discovered that apart from the aforementioned functions, this gland also contains photosensitive cells. It has an important photo-sensory function, i.e. a scientifically acknowledged process. If we removed both eyes and subsequently exposed the anatomic part in the front part of the pineal gland to light, this organ would still be able to react to stimuli as our eyes. This fact leads some scientists to wonder whether the pineal gland is something more than a vestigial eye. It is possible that many of brain processes that have not been understood yet are located in this conical space. Some scientists maintain the opinion that the pineal gland activity is closely connected to mental activity related to meditation or heightened imagination. The pineal gland is responsible for production of DMT – dimethyltryptamine, also called the soul molecule. Releasing this molecule is considered to be one of the strongest known hallucinogenic neurotransmitters.

Third Eye - Where the Intuition Dwells

Intuition means insight, it represents the ability of fast comprehension and decision-making which is not supported by any logical thinking or decision-making but which is accompanied by the feeling of certainty and decisiveness. It is the ability to perceive and evaluate both real and hidden motives and situations. By activating the third eye, the intuition channel opens. If we obtain this ability, it is necessary to listen to the intuition, to the inner voice. Eventually, these impulses do not only come in short flashes and thoughts, but they become a conviction accompanied by joy and feeling of right action. When we succeed in removing non-functional systems that surrounded us and obstructed us from our actions, then the clarity of our knowledge increases our self-confidence and certainty of actions.

The third eye is where the intuition dwells together with telepathic abilities. Activating our third eye gives us the possibility to create new realities on physical and material level and cancel the old ones. Activating our third eye gives us the ability to respond by ourselves and strengthen it. Many people are very responsive in relation to others but forget about themselves. Thus, their own souls become unfulfilled. Each one of us has a third eye, but hardly anyone is able to use it. Activating the third eye serves mainly for our own spiritual development and helps us cope better with our own lives, make the right decisions, and develop our abilities and intuition.

Sometimes, we encounter individuals with increased sensitivity to their surroundings and to the material world. This sensitivity manifests by wearing sunglasses, hairstyles covering the forehead, eyes covered with hands. These people are usually internally convinced, even unknowingly, that it is impossible to achieve harmony in this world. They tend to be vulnerable and sensitive to criticism. Activating their third eye might help them by making them realise their own value and abilities. They need to be assured that everything is all right with them and they don't have to hide any more.

Diseases and problems related to problematic function of the third eye:

headaches and migraines

problems with eyesight, whether myopia or hyperopia

inflammations of the respiratory tract

cavity problems
